We upgraded our TV recently from a 26″ tube to a 32″ LCD. We had to swap out our regular Time Warner DVR to a HDDVR. It turns out the Scientific Atlantic 8300HDC box has software that is quite buggy. I had read this online as I struggled to set up the DVR with the TV and soon found found this out first hand. Several times the DVR has crashed.

Today the DVR crashed again and we had to reboot it because it was not sending a good signal. After the first reboot we were greeted with this message:

Note the phone number. Now I know it’s very easy to erase that last digit in Photoshop but I assure you it was not there. For the record the last number is a 3.

One more reboot of the DVR fixed the problem.
